to see what you see when you look at me—my wrinklesmy bad haircutpuffy eyes and acne showingglasses that cover half my facewhat do you see when you see me?my size 10 shoes and my extra long jeans that are a little too big in the buttmy cracked and torn nails with messy polish on them that’s chipping already.

I see you when I look at you—your laugh lines mean that you are joyfulyour hair is long and thickI think you are the most beautiful when you first wake up, face fresh from a night of sleepI see the woman I fell in love withjust as tall as I am,feet fit to travellong, lean legs with the best butt I’ve seennails that prove to me you work hard and never back down from a dirty job.
